Pipelines play a very vital role in industries and are the communication factor of almost all units and are considered a bridge between them. So with any disruption in their performance, the whole system will be disrupted. Pipes may suffer various problems during their operation. One of these problems is the reduction of the internal thickness of the pipe due to various mechanical or chemical factors. By reducing the pipe thickness, depending on the temperature and pressure conditions of the pipe, the integrity of the system may be compromised. In some cases, the reduced thickness makes the pipe need to be strengthened or replaced to withstand the working conditions. Replacing the pipes usually requires the entire system shutdown, so if there is a solution that requires not taking the system out of service, it is very economical. Traditional methods require the discharge of hazardous materials inside the pipe because risks such as explosions may occur due to cutting and welding. As the best solution for improving the mechanical properties of damaged pipes, Farasath Zarfam Company, a supplier of composite coatings, proposes to strengthen the pipe using composite material, which has the ability to design for any type of pipe with different working conditions.
Composite coatings, which are mainly designed and made from different fibers and polymer bases with specific purposes, have very high mechanical properties such as Young’s modulus (elasticity), tensile strength and bending strength. In addition, the fracture strain of the porcelain layer composite is very high and its weight is significantly less than other industrial materials such as metals that are used for strengthening. When a pipe that has been damaged due to various factors leading to a decrease in mechanical properties is covered with composite, it seems that a new composite pipe, of which the damaged pipe is also a part, has been installed in place and meets the needs of the industrial unit.
As mentioned, composite has the ability to design. The mentioned design can eliminate the factors involved in the degradation of the mechanical properties of the pipe that have been involved with them so far. For example, if a pipe exposed to working-environmental conditions suffers external rot and has lost some of its thickness, a composite coating can restore the strength of the lost thickness and also prevent such cases.
Farasath Zarfam Company announces its willingness to share its experiences and knowledge to solve that problem to meet the needs of various employers whose complexes have problems such as the mechanical strengthening of lower pipelines. Over the years, Farasath Zarfam Company has successfully delivered such projects to employers.
We at Farasath Zarfam Company hope that by constructive interaction with various groups, we can significantly reduce the costs incurred in the pipe maintenance and repairs to industries.
